also every once in a great while i get hard shifting when im at a light or parked, its rough shifting into reverse and shometimes in first, i checked my tranny gear oil and differental gear oil, there all at correct level and my clutch fluid at correct level, but the thing is the gear oil looks kinda dark and the clutch fluid as wheel looks kinda dark compaired to new oil, please help this is bugging the crap out of me

 

Sounds like the IAC . Try cleaning it and the port it goes into on the TB.

 

its completly clean and so is the port, the entire throttle body is spotless, also just to make sure u know its a single fuel injection throttle body, but the resistance is showing up wierd on it, but not sure what else it could be its still doing it, also i forgot to mention i also put in a new PCM 2 weeks ago
